Frequently Asked Questions

How can a law remain on the books but not be enforced by court order?

When a law is declared unconstitutional, a court can issue an injunction. This legal order prevents state defendants from enforcing the law, effectively making it a 'dead law' even if it hasn't been repealed from the statute books.

What is the significance of a permanent injunction against a law like AB 2571?

A permanent injunction means the state is legally barred from enforcing AB 2571. Unless the legislature takes action to repeal or amend the law, it will remain unenforceable due to the court's order.

What does it mean for a law to be 'enjoined' from enforcement?

To be 'enjoined' means a court has issued a legal order prohibiting the enforcement of a specific law. This is a common outcome when a law is found to be unconstitutional.
